While it's not as gripping and wickedly entertaining as the original, Terminator 3 is still well worth the wait and is an exhilarating experience from start to finish.
The action never lets up and there is no sugarcoating the nonstop brutal violence of the film. Kristanna Loken as the T-X is very hot and stone cold in her role as her emotionless killer robot. Arnie is great once again, proving that no-one does the terminator better than him. Apart from that he is also in amazing shape for his age and his physical presence is still very intimidating and overwhelming in the film. Whereas T2 deals with preventing judgement day and the end of the world for humans, T3 deals with preparing for it and the rise of the machines.
My only criticisms are that Edward Furlong should have kept his role as John Connor. Also Sarah Connor just being abandoned in the story is wrong in my opinion and the casting of Claire Danes seems to have been thrown in just for grins. But the movie does have some very funny moments, which are a blessing. The special effects are the most mind-blowing in the series so far, and the action scenes are never less than spectacular. So if you are an Arnie or Terminator fan, or just a moviegoer in my opinion, T3 is without a doubt a must-see. Along with The Matrix Reloaded, T3 is definitely my fav film of the year.
I give Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines an 8/10.
